Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Mariah b. Shamun, who was gifted to him by the Muqawqis (Cyrus, man of the Caucasus), the ruler of Alexandria. She came with her sister Sirin and a eunuch called Mabur. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gifted Sirin to Hassan b. Thabit. Coptic Muqawqis and them were Christians. Mariah bore Ibrahim to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the eighth year of Hijrah. Ibrahim died in Madinah when he was eighteen months old.
ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَارِيَةَ بِنْتَ شَمْعُونَ وَهِيَ الَّتِي أَهْدَاهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُقَوْقِسُ صَاحِبُ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ وَأَهْدَى مَعَهَا أُخْتَهَا سِيرِينَ وَخَصِيًّا يُقَالُ لَهُ مَابُورُ فَوَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِيرِينَ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَالْمُقَوْقِسُ مِنَ الْقِبْطِ وَهُمْ نَصَارَى وَوَلَدَتْ مَارِيَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَمَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا
